They will be aiming to make amends against Spurs at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Arsenal are eyeing a third-straight away win over their north London rivals.
Formation: 4-3-3
Predicted Line-up:
David Raya has already kept two clean sheets this season and he was brilliant against Brighton too with superb stops. The Spaniard has been playing with plenty of confidence. He is guaranteed to start in goal ahead of new signing Neto.
The backline should stay unchanged. Ben White and Jurrien Timber are set to start on the right and left side of the back four with William Saliba partnering Gabriel Magalhaes in the heart of the defence.
There will be enforced changes in midfield. Declan Rice is suspended after his sending off versus Brighton. Jorginho seems a natural replacement for him in the centre of the park alongside Thomas Partey.
Club captain Martin Odegaard is a huge doubt for the game with an ankle sprain. We anticipate Kai Havertz to drop into a central attacking role. He played in a similar position for Germany this week.
Bukayo Saka is a nailed-on starter on the right wing. He has had a brilliant start this term with one goal and three assists. We anticipate a change on the opposite flank with Leandro Trossard dropping out.
Manager Mikel Arteta may look to exploit Spurs’ high backline with plenty of pace. Gabriel Martinelli could get the nod on the left wing with the returning Gabriel Jesus starting as the main striker.
Jesus was back in full training earlier this week and he could be tasked to lead the attack.
